Ingredients

2 cups (500 mL) cooked Great Northern Beans (see notes)
2 cups (500 mL) rolled oats (see notes)
1 large egg
1 Tbsp (15 mL) baking powder
2 Tbsp (30 mL) honey
2 tsp (5 mL) vanilla extract
1 1/2 - 2 cups (375-500 mL) water, divided

Instructions

Preheat waffle iron.
While the waffle iron heats up, place beans, oats, egg, baking powder, honey and vanilla in a food processor or high-powered blender. Add 1 cup (500 mL) water and blend, adding water as needed, until mixture is smooth.
Pour ½ cup (125 mL) batter evenly over the center of the preheated waffle iron, then close and cook, until waffle is crispy on the outside and cooked through. Repeat with remaining batter.
Serve warm with all your favourite toppings and enjoy!

Notes

You can also use other cooked or canned white beans like white kidney, cannellini or navy - a 19oz (540 mL) can, drained and rinsed, yields 2 cups (500 mL) cooked beans.
Use gluten free oats to make this recipe gluten free.
